Never Meant To Be

Small town full of little white lies. Would make a stranger turn around, run and hide. You hurt a good girl, made her cry. I think it’s finally time to say good bye

CHORUS You told me that you loved me Said that you were never gonna leave me Took my heart, yeah, you tore it apart Hold on, this is just the start

This is me, boy, telling you good bye I’m sick of you and all of your damned lies Oh, I thank God every night, I thank God that this was never meant to be

Everybody knew, Everybody knew But no one would say Not even to this day.

You said that you were “just friends” Even brought her to my sister’s weddin’. Wasn’t that just the cherry on top?

I was in denial And I forced a smile Then I remembered

CHORUS You told me that you loved me Said that you were never gonna leave me Took my heart, yeah, you tore it apart Hold on, this is just the start

This is me, boy, telling you good bye I’m sick of you and all of your damned lies Oh, I thank God every night I thank God that this was never meant to be

Well I ain’t cryin’ anymore It don’t matter anymore Get outta my face Get out of my life

You told me that you loved me Said that you were never gonna leave me Took my heart, yeah, you tore it apart Hold on, this is just the start

CHORUS You told me that you loved me Said that you were never gonna leave me Took my heart, yeah, you tore it apart Hold on, this is just the start

This is me, boy, telling you good bye I’m sick of you and all of your damned lies Oh, I thank God every night I thank God that this was never meant to be I thank God that this was never meant to be Thank God that this was never meant to be
